This article discusses smart learning environments in terms of its application in learning Arabic reading skills II (maharah qiro’ah II), its contribution in realizing goals, and its role in realizing the competence of prospective Arabic teachers in the Indonesian National Qualifications Framework. This qualitative research used a total sampling technique and followed the learning process for one semester of 19 students in the International Class Program class of the Maharah Qiro’ah II course, majoring in Arabic language education, Faculty of Tarbiiyah and Teacher Education, UIN Maulana Malik Ibrahim Malang. The national and international achievements of students participating in smart learning environments from 2022–2024 were used as supporting documents. The learning process was observed, and interviews were conducted with 19 students through a Google form link with smart learning environments indicators of “showing”, “manageable”, “accessible”, “real-time interaction”, and “test”. This research applied the Miles and Huberman model for data analysis. The main findings of the research were that technology-based pedagogical integration can produce prospective teachers with successful characteristics. Learning maharah qiro’ah by applying a smart learning environment can equip students with a spirit of competition that can realize reading skills for prospective Arabic language teachers and national and international achievements.
